Nicole W. Shares A Yummy, Healthy Snack Idea

Hey readers! So, it's been getting extremely hot in my town this week, which is making it almost impossible to work out outside! So, I've decided that it's time to get back in the gym.

Anyway, along with the summer comes yummy summer treats...and the best part is that some of the yummiest ones aren't even bad for you! Yummy Summer Fruit Parfait

All you need is: -One Banana -Strawberries -Fat-Free Cool Whip

Just slice the bananas and strawberries and top them off with Cool Whip. I wouldn't even call this a recipe. It's just something I threw together the other day when I was craving something a little sweet! The best part is, you can mix it up and put any type of fruit you want in it — oranges, grapes, cherries — the possibilities are endless!

One thing I really love about Seventeen is they encourage readers to be happy and to love themselves! When I was younger I despised my body but as I've gotten older, I have begun to love myself for who I am. I no longer have to remind myself anymore that I'm not doing this to be "perfect", but that I'm doing it to be healthy! Each week, I've decided to start challenging myself in a different way. Last week my challenge was to work out outside of the gym. This week, I'm challenging myself (and all of you) to look in the mirror each day, and pick out one thing that you love about yourself! Tell me how it goes below! Have a great week girls!
